I dont see any reason why Ohtani should prefer the American League to the National. The American League would only limit him as a pitcher, unlike the National League that will give him more avenue to flex his muscles and enjoy his career.
The National League is quite promising for his baseball career and could even improve his pitching and hitting potential even more as he gets to practice anyone at intervals as the circumstances demands.
He will be more useful and also contribute solely and improve the National League even better than being in the American League where he is seen as "fill in the gap" and can be done away with if his best is not good enough.
Shohei Ohtani is needed and more useful in the National League. Am not a baseball enthusiast so I stand to be corrected about my predictions as to Shohei Ohtani being more useful and valuable to the National League.
Thank you for this wonderful piece @donkeypong.
You sure know your baseball! Thanks for the comment. :)
Lol... baseball is not really it for me but sports in general interests me. I just weighed the whole thing on a scale. It seem unsure what he is going to meet in the AL.
